Earth's Most Mysterious Places - Booklist

This entry in the History Raiders series (6 titles) delivers on its promise, covering “strange, sometimes spooky, and even bizarre” spots. An introduction discusses mysterious places overall and highlights a couple of intriguing examples while also introducing the fictional Madison Maverick, a “history raider” who appears throughout the book. Thereafter, sections of a few pages each, with brief text and large stock photos, cover various phenomena such as crop circles and lost cities, and Maverick details her investigation of particular happenings—after “The Bermuda Triangle,” for example, she looks into the 1945 disappearance of five bomber planes in the region. The presentation closes with tools for future investigations and likely explanations. Though no sources are cited, the snappy, accessible writing and intriguing photos will entice readers to learn more about this high-interest topic.
